Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected Jul 6, 2026

The Town Manager has outlined extensive updates needed to Land Use, Site Plan Review, Subdivision, Shoreland, and related ordinances to comply with new Maine housing laws (including LD 2173) and implement the Comprehensive Plan. Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission will assist, but the scope includes density changes, parking, impact fees, stormwater, sidewalks, EV/solar readiness, housing types, and more over the next 1–10 years. This creates ongoing need for planning, legal, engineering, and public engagement support as the town translates these strategies into drafted ordinances and implementation tools.

Comp Plan strategies list prioritized ordinance changes for housing, transportation, stormwater, shoreline, agriculture, energy, and short-term rentals.
